The man holds a black pipe in his right hand. The background of the portrait is light greenish-gray. The portrait is on the left side of a double-leaf page. The right side of the page has Japanese writing in black ink. The pages are off-white with a black border around both sides. The pages appear old and worn with some discoloration and stains.
